Qin Zhen looked at the silhouette of Hong Xiaodan busy in the kitchen, sighed, and said, "You’re really not up to any good, just trying to divert trouble, wanting to handle her, so you can escape her clutches. But a woman like her, I really can’t handle. It’s obvious to anyone with eyes; this woman’s got a screw loose and is set in her ways. She’s already decided on you, how could I possibly pry her away?"
Chen Feng got a bit anxious upon hearing this and quickly said, "You haven’t even tried, how do you know it won’t work? Can you give it a shot? Use your skills as the little prince of romance, I’m very confident in you."
"Get out of here! You can tell just by looking that this kind of woman isn’t easy to deal with, and her personality is kind of strong, sharp-tongued. In short, such a woman is both neurotic and smart, I just can’t handle her easily. Besides, the person she likes is you. Even if I work hard to gain her approval in the future, she might still have you in her heart. You’re my brother; I don’t want my woman to have had any emotional ties with you. Do you understand what I an?"
Of course, Chen Feng understood. If he were in Qin Zhen’s shoes, he wouldn’t want to take over either. Even though speaking truthfully, he really didn’t have any romantic entanglents with Hong Xiaodan, they had always been innocent with no intimate actions whatsoever, but there was certainly so awkwardness in his heart.
He had previously been a bit presumptuous
Chen Feng glanced at Hong Xiaodan’s back in the kitchen and felt a wave of helplessness. This rich beauty really had a screw loose; he didn’t understand why she was so persistent.
Knowing full well his flirtatious nature, she still clung on, it was really perplexing.
"Sigh! I can only thank you for your good intentions. Such a rich beauty, I’m not fortunate enough to accept."
Qin Zhen sighed, sowhat dejectedly patted Chen Feng’s shoulder. He was actually a bit reluctant, but after all, he was not soone who hadn’t seen pretty won, and moreover, he had always had principles in how he conducted himself.
Knowing that this beautiful rich woman was deeply in love with his brother, he wasn’t going to snatch her away, even if he had his brother’s permission and encouragent, he couldn’t do it.
"So... should I still introduce Lu Sijia to you?" Chen Feng hesitated and asked.
He originally intended to introduce these two won to Qin Zhen with genuine good intentions, of course with a bit of self-interest among them, especially with Hong Xiaodan, he genuinely wished she would fall in love with soone else soon and stop bugging him.
Also, of course, there was a thought of not letting good things slip outside their circle, whether it was Lu Sijia or Hong Xiaodan, their personal qualities were top-notch, and since he couldn’t handle it, passing them on to good buddy Qin Zhen was his first choice.
"Of course... yes."
Qin Zhen only hesitated slightly before giving a definite answer.
He had always been more interested in Lu Sijia, but seeing Hong Xiaodan in person, she was pretty and he had so thoughts about her for a mont. Fortunately, he quickly ca to his senses, not led by his lower half.
"Alright then, the day after tomorrow this weekend, I’ll invite her over to my place for dinner, you co over then."
"Okay."
Just as they finished speaking, Hong Xiaodan also brought over freshly washed grapes.
"Here, try these, they’re really quite delicious."
Qin Zhen ate a few symbolically, admitting they were indeed tasty, praised a bit, then conveniently ntioned he had to work in the afternoon and left.
The room was left with only the two of them, truly a man and a woman alone.
Chen Feng had been in this situation several tis before, hence he even wanted to make the doorbell silent.
"Brother Feng, what was your friend here for?" Hong Xiaodan pretended to be curious and asked, then casually sat beside him, a faint and delicate fragrance drifting to Chen Feng’s nose.
Chen Feng was really helpless, and casually replied, "Nothing much, just a casual chat."
"Oh." Hong Xiaodan nodded, reached out to offer a large grape right to Chen Feng’s mouth, "This one’s big, eat it."
Chen Feng tilted his head back slightly, then furrowed his brows as he took the grape in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. The grape was sweet, indeed, but Chen Feng’s mood was not so great.
After so thought, Chen Feng finally decided it was better to have a straightforward talk with her again.
He cleared his throat a couple of tis, then sat upright and said, "Little Dan, I really don’t understand, what is it about a promiscuous man like that makes you pursue relentlessly? This ti, speak truthfully. Let’s have a candid conversation."
Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, Hong Xiaodan swallowed the grape in her mouth without even spitting out the skin, then forced a smile and said, "I don’t know what exactly it is about you that attracted , but I just think you’re quite good. I’m just like this, once I set my mind on sothing, it’s hard to turn back."
Chen Feng said earnestly, "This is not about being set or not, but about principles. You know about my current situation: at ho, there’s Sun Xiaorui, this live-in woman; not far away, there’s Liu Ying, this mistress; in fact, back in my hotown, I have a mistress there too. I might even have more mistresses in the future. This habit, I think it’s hard to change. Rich n easily go bad, and I’m one of them. Tell , what’s good about a person like ?"
Hong Xiaodan grabbed another grape, blinked, and said, "I can only say you fit my aesthetic. Besides, don’t you think we have a lot of fate? In Xiu Zhou here, we happen to live in the sa neighborhood as neighbors. I think it’s arranged by heaven. More importantly, you’re the best, most outstanding man I’ve encountered. So, I’ve decided on you."
Having said that, she tossed the grape into her mouth, only chewing a few tis before swallowing.
Chen Feng didn’t know what to say. Because, in fact, Chen Feng had already explained everything very clearly to her before, and saying more didn’t seem aningful. Actually, her situation was similar to Wu ngting’s, but Wu ngting was the type he liked, while Hong Xiaodan clearly wasn’t.
"Alright, don’t worry about it." Hong Xiaodan suddenly comforted Chen Feng in reverse, smiling, "Actually, you can entirely treat like your other won, just like Wu ngting. She’s your god-sister, isn’t your relationship with her more pure? I can be the sa. Just treat normally, no need to guard against , even less push away. This way, it only benefits you, no harm, don’t you agree?"
Chen Feng thought, "Yeah right, you want the sa treatnt as Wu ngting, how is that possible?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "The problem is you aren’t ngting; you are Hong Xiaodan. You can’t be the sa as her."
At this point, Chen Feng chuckled and said, "How about I give you a suggestion? If you truly have set your mind on , I don’t resist sothing happening between us, but the premise is I won’t marry you. If you can accept that, I don’t mind having one more woman with whom I have a close relationship."
